Disable macros in Excel
1. Disable all macros without notification
Assuming you will never use any macros and want to disable them, you can select this option. The next time you open an Excel workbook that supports macros, you won't see any notifications about macros.
However, you can still open the Visual Basic editor and examine the code. But the macros in the file are all in Design mode.

The macros in this file are disabled and you cannot run any of them. This is the effect of the first option in the macro settings.
2. Disable all macros with notifications
By default, Excel will select this option for macro settings. And the difference between this option and the previous one is the notification. In this option, when you open a workbook that supports macros, you will see a security warning. And there is also an Enable Content button .

If you directly open the Visual Basic editor and run the macro, you will again see information indicating that macros are disabled. But now you are sure that this macro is safe and can reopen the file. Then click the Enable Content button under Security Warning. Therefore, the macros in this macro support file are available. Furthermore, the next time you open the file, you will no longer see this warning. Excel is smart enough to record your actions and it remembers that the file is safe.
3. Disable all macros, except those with digital signatures
This is the third option. This option is easy to understand. When you select this option, all macros will be disabled. But certain macros do exist, and they have digital signatures. These macros are considered safe. Therefore, with this option you can run macros with digital signatures on your computer.
Good luck!
